If you take up a book on the HJ, would you think it absurd if the author, instead of saying "probably true", "very probably true" and "almost certainly true", used numbers instead? E.g. "70% probability of being true", "80% probability of being true" and "90% probability of being true"?
You didn't ask me but I would think it very silly indeed. I would be hard pressed to keep my eyes frontwards.
